Unlike the trademark material of Sielun Veljet, Kun Suomi putos puusta explores a more acoustic and minimalist production style. The album incorporates foley-style atmospheric sound effects commonly used in film production, adding a unique touch to the musical direction.[3]
The album achieved considerable success in Finland, selling over 30,000 copies and earning a gold certification in 1999.[4]
